The Duchess of Edinburgh looked fabulous in a ‘colour-of-the-moment’ suit this week, as she attended a special charity event. Sophie off-set the formality of the tailoring with a refined ‘messy bun’, pulling her hair back into a low loop which she secured with a scrunchie.

The Duchess’ wine-toned burgundy blazer and suit trousers were the perfect autumnal choice, as she joined a prize-giving event to mark an important occasion. For World Sight Day, Sophie met with England women’s football team goalie, Hannah Hampton, to present her with a Love Your Eyes Special Recognition Award.

‘Born with strabismus, a serious vision condition that left her with almost no depth perception, Hannah underwent multiple surgeries at a young age,’ explained a post by the Royal Family. ‘Defying the odds, Hannah is today one of the world’s leading goalkeepers, inspiring millions with her story.’

As Global Ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, Sophie ‘champions efforts to make eye care available and accessible for all’ and thanked Lioness star Hannah for her, ‘efforts to raise awareness of eye health and challenge stigma.’



It's been a busy week for the Royal Family, with the Princess of Wales also heading out for official visits and opting for tailoring. Kate opted for a monochrome green suit ensemble from Victoria Beckham’s line.

Meanwhile, Prince William joined forces with The King for a father-son occasion, attending an event with what he described as ‘global changemakers’ at London’s Natural History Museum, ahead of the COP30 Summit in Brazil.
